| Question | If I ______ (to be) Kate, I _______ (to study) harder |
|---|---|
| A | were/would study |
| B | would be/would study |
| C | were/studied |
| D | would be/studied |
| Answer | a |
| Remark | When we speak about imaginary situations, which differ from real facts in the present, we use Conditional 2: If-clause (if + Past Simple) - Main Clause (would/could + present without 'to'). The meaning of this sentence: 'in reality Kate does not study hard'. (I am not Kate, and I will not be able to be her). |
